I had a Sony Mavica for a long time and it worked pretty well in floppy
mode.  You can see samples of pictures on my website.  The problems I had
was that you can only get about 30 some pictures in 640 x 480 mode on a
floppy.  In high res mode (with the mavica FD-90) you can get less than 5.

I took about 6000 images in a one year time frame so I might be a bit
different and you can see them on my website.

I would recommend going to the gphoto website and checking out what is
supported there.
